After reading the idiotic threads over the past couple of weeks, I ask the question - "Who is worse...Steeler fans or Eagles fans?" Keep in mind that Eagle fans do not know what it's like to win a SB much less 6 and 2 this decade.

But I say you only lose 6 of these contests. Brady is still a very good system QB even if he doesn't know what play the defense has called, and they did make some upgrades to their defense. They are a playoff caliber team in 2009, but that's all.

So you have only three teams we are certain to beat.. Doesn't really sound playoff caliber. According to you this is our weakest team since 2002, but I'll take that bet.

Actually, there isn't sure bet on the schedule...but then again, there rarely is in the NFL.

I said you'd win 10-11 games and make the playoffs, lose in the divisional round. Now, if Brady just ain't the same, and a few early losses take their toll, I expect things could go south fast, as there are several players of questionable character on that team who could implode and become locker room poison. A lot of fans in the league would be awfully sad if that were to happen to SUCH a classy team (insert sarcasm smiley here).

Yeah, and, you know, everybody on the team could simultaneously spontaneously combust. I mean, you have to allow for every possibility.

I'm sorry man, but the Patriots just aren't that great. They have a real schedule for a change, they are (presumably, although I'd put nothing past Beliprick) done cheating, which levels the playing field, Brady will most likely be tentative and less effective, the system that he thrives in has been exposed, and the league has evolved. Fan bravado and arrogance won't change a 10-6 or 11-5 season and elimination in the middle rounds of the playoffs.
